Hybrid Emissions Calibration Engineer
Location: Auburn Hills, MI
Work Arrangement: Hybrid
Pay Rate: $30.80 per hour
Travel: 10-30%
Job Summary
The Calibration System Integration Engineer will support the commissioning, integration, and testing of calibration development resources, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems, dynamometer test setups, and full vehicles. This role supports propulsion system development, calibration strategy validation, emissions testing, and the commissioning of new system-level test resources.
The engineer will serve as a primary technical contact for system-level design validation and testing across HIL, dynamometer, and vehicle platforms. Responsibilities include supporting initial testing activities, collaborating with powertrain controls teams, training calibration engineers, leading development trips, and resolving system-level issues.
Responsibilities
- Lead system-level and cross-feature calibration and validation for drive modes, state-of-charge (SOC) management, range estimation, end-of-line (EOL) processes, human-machine interface (HMI), and related features.
- Support commissioning and initial testing activities for HIL systems, dynamometers, and vehicles.
- Validate PCR packages to identify hardware, software, and calibration deficiencies before final release.
- Support fuel economy and emissions testing, including dynamometer testing, data reviews, issue investigation, and vehicle troubleshooting.
- Lead engineering development trips to support project milestones.
- Analyze and summarize data from development trips, daily drives, and fleet testing to evaluate calibration maturity at quality gates.
- Coordinate AVL drive testing, including scheduling, issue triage, and implementation of improvements.
- Support issue tracking and resolution through GIMs, IMS, and related systems.
- Collaborate with powertrain controls teams to ensure vehicle features operate effectively and efficiently.
- Train calibration engineers and other personnel on propulsion vehicle systems and controls operation.
- Support environmental testing trips and prepare activity reports for senior management.
- Work with Centers of Excellence (CoE) teams to ensure engineering best practices are followed.
- Serve as the primary contact for system-level issues within the assigned functional area.
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Automotive experience gained through professional work or university programs such as Formula SAE, Baja SAE, or SAE EcoCAR.
- Strong knowledge of powertrain systems.
- Experience executing structured test plans and verification processes to ensure calibration quality.
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and creative problem-solving skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively.
- Ability to manage multiple technical issues and competing priorities.
Preferred Qualifications
- At least two years of calibration experience in an electrification application.
- Knowledge of control system development tools, including MATLAB and Simulink.
- Familiarity with calibration and diagnostic tools such as INCA, MDA, PowerCal, CRETA, CANalyzer, and CANoe.
- Experience developing powertrain control solutions, including control algorithms, onboard diagnostics (OBD), and embedded software.
- Knowledge of electric machines, power electronics, and electrification power flow fundamentals.
- Experience in engine or transmission design and development or powertrain systems engineering.
- Master's degree in Engineering.
